cal applications the seam strength shall be equal or greater than 90% of
the tensile strength of the geotextile itself.

be placed as shown on the drawing and/or as directed by the Owner.
4.5.2.(5) The Bidder shall be responsible for avoiding damage to the geotextile dur-
ing placement and compaction of the initial fill layer. The capability of the

prior to submission of materials to the Owner for approval.
4.5.2.(6) If required by the Owner, the Bidder shall at no charge excavate down to
the geotextile at regular intervals to visually check against construction
damage and on completion of the inspection, backfill and re-compacted.
Damaged geotextile areas shall be fully exposed and overlaid with an addi-
tional layer of geotextile prior to backfilling.
4.5.2.(7) In the event that consistent visible damage to the geotextile is observed,
